Alvarez, who is also a former Miami-Dade Police director, has rarely been seen in public since he left office, according to the Herald.

But he has been spending a lot of time at Equinox Gym Coral Gables, the newspaper reported. A spokeswoman confirmed that Alvarez works out there but would not disclose details about his regimen, the Herald added.

Alvarez could not be reached for comment, the Herald said.

Michael Sansevero, who took photos of the bodybuilding contest, said Alvarez paid over $75 for photos and video.

“I was kind of surprised when I saw him,” Sansevero said. “He must always have been in good shape, but he was in real good shape.”
